First off, I agree that the article is reaching a bit, and I don't personally agree with everything said 100%.

With that said, I still stand by my statement that Ex Machina does an extremely poor job with Asian representation. I would have agreed that objectification would be a good thing thematically. The big problem is with the resolution. Kyoko never gets her voice. She never gets her freedom. For her, the objectification was literately just objectification, and the worst kind.

If you think this is too "woke" then perhaps you and no one you care about are not affected by this problem. I would urge you to be a bit more empathetic about the problem. This type of media can get ingrained into our subconscious and have real world affects.

With all that said, I appreciate the conversation, and even if you don't end up agreeing, thanks for listening. I think more open and civil conversations about these topics are needed in society.

https://rentry.org/llama-tard-v2 contains bunch of the requisite torrent links, though much of it is disorganized information and multipurpose, e.g. do this if you want that, use these if you are on Windows but these if on Linux, and so forth. It is a mess.

I have llama.cpp built on my Linux laptop and I got some of these quantized model files and have installed bunch of python libraries required to run the conversions from the various formats to what llama.cpp can eat (model files whose names start with ggml- and end with .bin). I think it takes some degree of technical expertise right now if you do it by hand, though there is probably prebuilt software packages available by now.

Yes. Invest in bonds, not just any bonds… dig into bonds… telegram a free and open source miracle for everyone is profitable… weird since it’s free. But if you read licenses you will unlock your options in to the future. Free to use, does not mean free of charge.

I’ll say it again. Free to use (you user) does not mean free of charge.

Telegram sold over 1 billion dollars in bonds to keep their servers free to use.

Wonder why anyone would buy them?

Maybe “free” isn’t quite what you thought.

Don’t expect developers to jump in here and express how jaded they are because you wouldn’t pay .99 cents for their glorious app.

This is revenge of the nerds ok…

Don’t stop using. We’ll always be free to use.

Now I’m taking my blue pill and dreaming of my happy place.

This is a side problem and people are so dependent on network they will be the last thing to go down.

I am mostly amazed at the margin of improvement there is in software AI optimization alone.

Easy tricks are capable of increasing software efficiency thousands of times.

I wonder of what is left tonbe juiced, could an AI optimise itself 1000x in an instant?

Nuclear weapons would destroy the energy grid and possibly servers. So I assume if something like malign AI were to strategically overthrow humans it would go for the long approach. Influence generations step by step until it brainwashed everyone into giving it full access. Think of the conspiracy an infinite patience could archive.

I'm more worried about people jumping the gun - politicians saying "the time is now" when it's still not yet and then the voting majority backs them. Governments spend themselves into unmanageable debt, service sector becomes disabled, prices spiral out of control for the lunch burger an auto worker (or whatever else) needs then the auto (or whatever else) prices spike up as a result. Massive debt and slower production could hamper society's ability to move to its next level.

If a moment of need arises then people will see it. If the boomers are still here when the next industrial revolution happens then maybe we'll finally have the technology to make them realize it's not the mid 20th century anymore.

I think the system will change when I has to. That could be a lot quicker than 10 years if it’s something so important that life depends on it, like WW2 for example. I think this is on the same scale as a war or even higher, so I can see society mobilizing and throwing out the status quo to solve the problems any way it can.

That fact is little comfort since humanity is already working to build the robot army for it. Within the days of releasing GPT-4 people were trying to hook it up to every type of program imaginable letting it run code and giving it command line access. We will have LLMs controlling commercially available robots in the next few years at latest. If OpenAI started selling drones with an embodied version of GPT-4 built in next week I wouldn't even bat an eye.
